My Loves!
Today I bring to you a SPECTACULAR Christmas tour. My good friend M (and her hubby--also M) wanted some Christmas cheer at their home this year. The Birchwood Blog was happy to oblige and honored to decorate their GORGEOUS historic home.
Talk about a play day. I mean, GLORY. Take a gander below. I was basically a 7 year old girl again, except it wasn't the Matel Barbie aisle at Toys R Us, it was crafting some Christmas at M&M's.
M wanted the home to feel comfortable and gorgeous. She's a master gardener and loves live greens. Her yard is beautiful and full of evergreens and century-old Magnolias. Talk about perfect. The inside of her home is full of cherished multi-generation antiques. She wanted me to use what she had. Well...it was basically Epic.
M&M, I hope you love your Christmas transformation. I certainly am honored to share it today on the blog.
Feast your eyes my loves.
M&M's family room is a massive grand room with 20 foot ceilings.
A green velvet chair near the tree invites Santa Claus to sit with a cookie, and is the perfect holiday hue.
We filled M&M's test tube vases with live sprigs and berries as well as some gold ting-ting.
The massive stair case begged for some festive jewelry. Evergreen wreaths with gold and emerald ribbon fit the bill.
Antique spool chairs get home-made swags with evergreen and classic velvet bows.
M&M's heirloom silver candlesticks are showcased on the mantle.
Green beaded trees add some sparkle to an antique end table.
Live greens and felt holly sprigs fill two family heirloom picnic baskets
The kitchen is decked with simple charm
M&M's grande hood we dressed with live greens, little pears, antique silver dessert cups, and a massive wreath.
I obsessed over these English fine china plates featuring pheasants and grouse.
The breakfast chandelier is my favorite element in the entire design. We covered this wrought iron beauty in evergreens and Christmas ornaments. She was breath-taking.
